Do you also see the problem if you decode from file to memory only.
without any display?

NO: You have some problem with your peripherals.

YES: Check for heat and power problems.

If you are brave you could try some cpuburn variant to put the heat
to the maximum.

WARNING: This could kill your CPU and might void your warranty,
since this is not "normal use" of your CPU :-)

Good luck!
